Sleep? Who needs it!

I will be the 1st to admit I have been a very bad blogger.....but my little 6 week old is probably the best excuse you can have. He is wonderful! Even his fussy cries make me happy, not the ones where his tongue looks like it’s having a seizure, those are the worst! He only cries really bad when he's nursing like (my Dr. have him this nickname) a barracuda....and whenever he does this I can hear his theme song go on in my head..."You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick, Ooooooohhhh, barra barracuda!" All is well in Spencer land. When he was born the nurse said he was already smiling....most people dismiss it as gas, but she was convinced and as new parents no one could tell us otherwise. Since he was born he has smiled at random things, with no gas to follow we still believe he really IS smiling! Last week he started to smile at us....and not just for a second (because of some gas) but for 5 minutes, then 10 minutes straight! Shaun can almost get him to laugh, so far he just sort of pants with a huge cheesy grin- life is good. Spence had his 5 week apt last Thursday and he weighed in at 12 1/2 pounds (3 pounds above his birth weight) and 23 1/4 inches (2 1/4 inches longer than at birth). So far he is 95% for weight, 95% for height and 50% for head. McGrath's are always off the charts, so I blame myself for the average head size...lol.
